"It is hard to make peace when one side is hell-bent on mass murder."

Is this referring to the Hamas Charter? Suspect it is a typo and you meant to say both sides.

Took a while to get a first name @ company email address.

I work for a large company 50k employees (not in IT) with the standard email format .@company.com

The company has a automated way to change your email address if your name changes, so I changed my last name to @. which allowed me officialy change my email address to .@company.com. Then raised an IT fault to get my email address 'fixed' and remove the . after my name.

civil aircraft engineers will carry this and 3M 425 aluminium ‘speed tape’ with them which covers most jobs.

This is for sealing the cargo hold wall panels to ensure they are completely covered in flam proof materials. Normally a visual inspection is carried out each week to look for any damage in the holds.

Seems like by default every new sheet I create it shares with 3 people from @figr.app and I am unable to remove them.
